endurance

i’ve spent so much of my life waiting
knowing it would get better eventually.

i learned early on that enduring,
without protest or struggle,
is the easiest way to survive.

and endure i did. for quite a while.

and when i made it to this chapter in life,
where knew it was over (
for good )

my excitement almost ruined it;
my eagerness almost flooded and suffocated all of the land
before the seeds could begin to take root.

so i decided
to endure
once again.

i stayed very still.

and it worked; finally,
it worked.
